Question

If an object has a larger potential energy than kinetic energy

A) The speed of the object will increase.

B) The speed of the object will not change.

C) The speed of the object will decrease.

D) It is not possible to predict what the speed will be; it depends on the situation.

Answer 1

A, the speed of the object will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the Law of Conservation of Energy (Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but transferred from one type to another), we can argue that an object with large amounts of potential energy can turn into an object with large amounts of kinetic energy.
